OG Maco and Rome Fortune's new collaborative EP, titled Yep, has put Atlanta on the scoreboard for new releases in 2015. The EP features eight new songs (plus a bonus track) and includes production from TM-88, 808 Mafia, Childish Major and Cubby to name a few.
Rome Fortune saw success in 2014 with the release of his EP, Small VVorld, which also featured artists based out of Atlanta, including iLoveMakonnen and OG Maco. Small VVorld was his third of the year and he has kept up that momentum with his first release of 2015, out this week.
The project showcases the well-rounded talents of both individuals and highlights the ways that the tastemakers hold similar styles that come together quite well for this collaboration. Both hold an interesting place in music today and are focusing on standing out for being different, taking risks and hopefully paving the way for other eclectic artists from Atlanta and beyond to see the critical acclaim they are fighting for.
Rome Fortune is becoming a quick favorite in the up-and-coming Atlanta rap scene, with Small VVorld earning the title of Mixtape of the Week on Stereogram, among other successes last year. Luckily for fans, he's bringing his long time friends with him including OG Maco and iLoveMakonnen.
Rome Fortune posted on Twitter earlier, saying, "If u really love me, ur playing this at an ignorant volume rn. No exceptions."
